At times there seems to be very little interaction between ref and touch judges.

Maybe this is to do with the way the ref states how the game will be officiated at a pre-match chat.

The thing that annoys me about touch judges Dave, is the fact players can be blatantly offside, yet they do nothing about it.

That may well be down to what instructions the ref may give pre-match to how much he wants the touch judges to intervene.

Surely this shouldn't be a variable thing? It should be the same for every game, for every ref and every touch judge.

He must have sent out mixed messages at this one, looking at the linesmen officiating at the kicks
